Feature request: Please add taking snapshot

[gruijter]

It is possible to take a snapshot from ring. Could you make an action card that does just this? That would really be a killer application since I refuse to pay 3 euro's per month for cloud recording :)

See this link for snapshot implementation for ring in python: https://github.com/tchellomello/python-ring-doorbell/pull/108

[denniedegroot]

And where is this snapshot then stored? This will be an 'action flow card' so how would the action card look to you on Homey? Can you describe a solution?

[gruijter]

The snapshot is taken with an action card. The resulting image will then start a trigger card with the image as token. Similar to what image grabber is doing: https://apps.athom.com/app/image.grabber

[denniedegroot]

Ah ok, that should be possible. Are you willing to test/debug the support for this as I don't have any Ring devices anymore?

[gruijter]

Sure, no problem :)

[mruiter]

Also willing to test, can even give full access to the homey if wanted

The new Ring App gives a snapshot on the app screen and refreshes once in a while or when movement (i think) These pictures should be available somewhere . That in combination with the movement alert could become something like.

1. Movement -> then -> Put latest snapshot from ring api in tag
2. when tag image blabla changes -> telegram image blabla tag

This is how the new app version looks like. (maybee youy didnt update it yet and i dont know if its already on android)

That snapshot was from 8 seconds ago. My ring triggers movement a lot because i have a "fakkel" burning next to the door these dark days and ring doesnt like it even if i block the zone :)

[gruijter]

Exactly, this is how it works also on android. The link I provided to the python implentation contains the endpoint / information how to retrieve snapshots

[rodroz]

Also willing to test image grabbing. Would like a image tag to be used in conjunction with ie Telegram.

[gruijter]

Any news on this feature request?

[denniedegroot]

I really can't integrate it without having a device. The only other possibility is that someone shares their Ring account so I can access the devices, but this is of course "privacy" sensitive.

[gruijter]

Maybe someone with a ring is willing to take over the maintenance of the Homey app?

[denniedegroot]

Everyone can make a pull request.

Geen probleem!

I created a new branch named 'image_grab'. The trigger works and has the jpg data from Ring, but it doesn't seem to work for me...

[denniedegroot]

Now it works for me, please test it and let me know. Also test the ring Chime if you can.

That's is excellent, an donation is coming your way when updated. Thank you.

[gruijter]

Tested and got it working eventually with https://apps.athom.com/app/email.sender to send the snapshot by email on motion detection.

Good job @denniedegroot !

[mruiter]

Telegram also works

A beta version is submitted to the App store. If there are any issues please create a new ticket.

[rodroz]

Downloaded the beta and tried a flow. Just getting invalid authentication 404 when using the grab image card. Is there anything that I missed?

[rodroz]

Hmm just started working without the error.. Ok, now to see how to send the grabbed image to telegram

[mruiter]

Use the a new snapshot card from ring as trigger and telegram app send image as action card. Use the image tag that’s available for the telegram action card

@rodroz use the image tag in the ‘if’ flow card.

[rodroz]

Thanks Dennie, I managed to make 2 flows. One for grabbing and one for sending. Excellent work.

[rodroz]

Haha, getting the samme image over and over... Any ideas for that?

[denniedegroot]

Could you create a new issue for that?
